I trusted my intuition and followed my gut. Ever since I had spent a six months internship in Dublin in 2008, I wanted to come back for good. On 1st January 2014 I made my dream come true and emigrated to Ireland. \nWith a Bachelor Degree in Business Administration and a specialisation in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hochschule-stralsund.de\/host\/fakultaeten\/wirtschaft\/studienangebot\/leisure-and-tourism-management\/\">Leisure and Tourism Management <\/a>, I worked in Irish incoming tourism for many years. Even now that I am a stay-at-home mom, I stay connected with the tourism sector and enjoy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daslebenistgruen.com\/dlig\/en\/content-writing\/\">writing content<\/a> for travel companies and other small businesses. \nTogether with my Irish husband and our three children, I live in the gorgeous County Wicklow, between the mountains and the Sea. I consider myself incredibly lucky and am grateful for the life I have in Ireland. \n<br \/><br \/>\nIf you are thinking about emigrating to Ireland yourself or are just interested in the expat life, I invite you to follow my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daslebenistgruen.com\/dlig\/en\/category\/blog\/\">Ireland Blog<\/a>! \n<br \/><br \/>\nFor content writing or translation enquiries, please <a href=\"mailto:blog@greeniscolourful.com\/\">email me<\/a> or\n<br \/><br \/>\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"link\" href=\"mailto:blog@greeniscolourful.com\" style=\"color: #333333; border-color: #333333;\">Send a Message<\/a>\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<!-- about --><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-363-0-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_blog_subscription jetpack_subscription_widget panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-363-0-0-1\" ><h3 class=\"widget-title\">Ireland in Your Inbox:<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-subscriptions__container\">\n\t\t\t<form action=\"#\" method=\"post\" accept-charset=\"utf-8\" id=\"subscribe-blog-widget-0-0-1\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-blog=\"108224806\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-post_access_level=\"everybody\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"subscribe-text\"><p>Explore Ireland through the lense of a German expat!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p id=\"subscribe-email\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<label id=\"jetpack-subscribe-label\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"screen-reader-text\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tfor=\"subscribe-field-widget-0-0-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEmail Address\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"email\" name=\"email\" required=\"required\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvalue=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tid=\"subscribe-field-widget-0-0-1\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tplaceholder=\"Email Address\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p id=\"subscribe-submit\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"action\" value=\"subscribe\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"source\" value=\"https:\/\/www.daslebenistgruen.com\/dlig\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/363\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"sub-type\" value=\"widget\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"redirect_fragment\" value=\"subscribe-blog-widget-0-0-1\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" id=\"_wpnonce\" name=\"_wpnonce\" value=\"6c151b32ef\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wp_http_referer\" value=\"\/dlig\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/363\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"submit\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-button__link\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tname=\"jetpack_subscriptions_widget\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSubscribe\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/form>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About me Moving from Germany to Ireland was not a matter of weighing up pros and cons for me.
